An Indian Maiden Taken In.


In view OF the unbroken experience
which the Miami girls had had in
marital affairs, much surprise was
caused here a few years ago, says q
special from Wabash, Ind, when an
advertisement. appearing in local
newspaper, announced that Nancy
Wacarconah, "ayoung Miami raid en-,
good-lookfng, amiable and neat, and
the owner OF 200 acres of excellent
land would marry white man if
the right man presented himself. Eff.
forts were made to head the girl off,
and the sad fate OF her sisters was
pointed out to her, but she would not
be advised. She felt that she was as
good q judge OF human nature as any
body, and her advertisement remain.
ed in the paper.
The replies received were numerous.
Every worthless scamp In the country
for fifty miles around responded,
most OF them In person, and Nancy
was f1attered almost to the point OF
lunacy by the attentions which she
received Some of the men who sought
her are said to have been worthy fell
lows, who might have treated her
III an honorable manner, but, with
the fatuity which has character
lied all the other girls of herrace, Nan
ey finally selected from score or
more OF ardent suitors, a young man
named Charles Hale, and the marriage
was speedily celebrated. Hale was
man who had never made success OF
anything that he had undertaken, who
was indolent, and wholly without ex-
perience in any bread-winning pursuit.
but he was fairly goo6-looking, and
Tor time Nancy was the happiest
girl in Indiana.
She and her husband settled on her
farm, and for a time they made an
effort to cultivate it, but it soon be-
came evident that Hale had no inten-
ton of working. On one pretext or
another he induced her to sell or mort
gage the land, and give him the mon
ey, until all was irretrievably gone,
and then, with nothing but the chari-
ty of her friends to rely upon, he
abandoned her taking up with white
woman, and leaving the country. Nam
cy could hardly be made to believe
that the land which had been hers, and
her fathers and grandfather's had
passed from her control forever, and
that the white husband tor whom she
had paid so dearly, had abandoned
her, but when she realized the truth
her grief was uncomfortable. Some OF
the older members ofthe tribe who still
retain their lands, took the girl in and
gave her home, and through the
kindness OF Wabash attorney an &C
ton for divorce has now been brought.

The Prince Consort as Emperor
of Britain.

The following extract from the
"Vltzthum Memoirs" Will be a revela-
ton to some people who do not know
how recent is the establishment of
genuine constitutional government in
England:
The value which the Queen attached
to her husbands precedence is ex-.
planned by the submissive veneration
she invariably showed him in great as
well as small affairs. He was COM
plete master in his house, and the &C
tive center OF an Empire whose power
extends to every quarter of the globe.
1t was gigantic task for a young
German Prince to think and act for
all these millions of British subjects.
All the threads were gathered together
IN his hands. For twenty-on years
not single dispatch was ever sent
from the Foreign Office which the,
Prince had not seen, studied, and if
necessary, altered. Not single re-
port OF any Importance from an AM
bassador was allowed to be kept from
him. The Secretary of State for the
Colonies, the Secretary for War, the
Home Secretary, the First Lord of
the Admiralty, all handed to him
every day just as large bundles of
papers as did the Foreign Office.
: Every thing was read, commented up.
on and discussed. In addition to all
this the Prince kept up private cor
respondence with foreign soverelgns,
with British Ambassadors and En-
voys, with the Governor. General of.
India, and with the Governors of the
various colonies. No appointment ins
Church and State, in the army or the
navy, was ever made without his APP
probation. At court not the smallest
thing was done without his order.
No British Cabinet Minister has ever
worked SO hard during the session of
Parliament-and that is saying O.
good deal-as the Prince Consort did
for twenty-one years.

Days Work Of our Grandfather

Boston Transcript.
A gentleman whose recollection OF
affairs Of long ago is very clear, says
in regard to the hours of labor back
in the '2O's: ''The days work sixty
years ago was from sun to sum- that
is, beginning at sunrise and leaving off
at sunset. This, OF course, made a
large difference in the length Of days
between summer and winter; conse-
quently the building was mostly done
in the long days of summer. The
price then paid for labor was from rs
cents to 81 per day, and to carpen-
tiers and masons Sl.25 to 81. so per
day. The bell in the clock steeple of
DR.. Lathrop's meeting house was, by
order OF the town, rung at z o'clock.
for breakfast, at IL o'clock for lunch
con, O'Clock for dinner, 4 O'Clock for
luncheon. and ats o'clock at night
for ali apprentices to go to bed. The
employer then furnished at IL o clock
black strap New England rum and
molasses) and hard bread and cheese,
and at o'clock another dram Of
.Dlack strap This dram was carried
to the Workmen to save time. About
fifty years ago one Seth Luther set up,
as reformer, that ten hours OF labor
was the proper time. He neglected
his work (that OF a stone mason) and
died IN the poorhouse.'

A New Fashion For Bellies.
York; Letter in Omaha Bee.

New York. Letter in Omaha Bee
Young Mrs. Waldorf Astor has set
a new fashion for the bellies of high
society. It is based on: an esthetic,
intellectual, exquisitely cultured idea,
and all the women in that particular
circle are already obeying it. nshow
no consciousness of your hustle
That is the mandate. In other and
more explanatory words, do not be-
tray the fact that you are in the least
anxious about that abnormally de-
veloped and easily displaced appurte-
nance of your costume.
How do you konw he ism a gem
tleman?' asked somebody of Mrs.
John Blgelow, as that eccentric wife
OF an Ex-Governor commented on
chap at a recent reception.
Because he parts his coat-tails
when he sits down." was the reply.
What she meant was that a true
gentleman should appear SO unaware
OF his clothes that, in taking a seat,
he would not spread aside the skirts
OF his coat to save them from getting
wrinkied. That's thedoctrine embod-
led in Mrs. Astor's innovation. The
belle must not adjust the draper1es OF
her tournu1e SO much as by the slight
est pat or the most obscure adjust
ment. The amended rule was first OBJ
served in operation at the big dinner
given at Mid Careme by Mrs. Aston,
and by the time Castor brings out
new toilets it will be in full force
among our swells.

but II he had been taken before o

the truth of his letter.
"There Is little wonder that n great
many commanders disliked the com
NOM place army correspondent. 1t Is
n wonder that so many of them failed
TO appreciate the correspondent who
did good work. There were CORE.
sponden,s who wrote from what the
general officers said to them. Going
TO an officer who was good talker

information favored with q fair amount
of self.praise. Going to a man like
Grant, who was not good talker and
who did not care 10 speak of himself, a
correspondent received very little In
formation, and II he was 'ono of the
common place fellows he was apt
to write the man who would not talk
to him down as q poor stick. But one
of the most spirited and most graphic
descriptions of one of the most dram
attic battles of the war was written by
correspondent who was not on the
field, but who went TO the command.
ing general at night, walked him from
his sleep, and induced him TO take a
map of the field and tell him the story
of the battle rs he saw II. This was
faithfully done, and the correspondent,
catching the spirit of the battle from
the man who had fought 1t, wrote out
before morning q description that
greatly enhanced his reputation"

for railroad from Malvern to the springs
and who had no money. The charter aud

MIR. GOULD TRAVELS LIKE A ROCKET
while inspecting his roads. In this way he
gets certain amount OF exercise, for, as
travellers know, heavy train drawn at the
rate OF fifty miles an hour will make little
fuss In comparison with the autics OF a
single car tackled to an engine making the
same rate. Mr.. Gould often travels IN the
Convoy at ilfty.mile gait, and during such
a trip has been known to change seats
from one side OF the car to the other--not
OF his own volitlon, but without changing
countenance. So long as Superintendent
kerrigan keeps his hand on the bell rope
Mr.. Gould makes no remOnstrance, but
accepts his shaking without q grumble.
He changed engineers on ono OF his trips
without knowing II. The engineer had been
running slowly for reasons OF his own, In
spite Of numerous pulls at the bell cord.
When, however, he discovered that dinner
was under way he pulled the throttle open,
and the locomotive darted ahead suddenly

the table Ike flash. At tho next station
the engineer was promoted to a freight
train. lie probably blames Mr.. Gould for
the change, yet Mr.. Gould will only know

A NOTABLE HYMN.
=" God BE With You "-words and Music
Washington Production.


One Of the few really deserving hymns
which is finding world. wide recognition
among Christian people OF every creed is
the one known as "God Be With You." 1t
Is essentially home production, as both
the words and the music were written by
residents OF Washington, d. g. The words
and the music are singularly harmonious,
and when the air is once heard 1t is easily
remembered. The words were written by
DIR. j. L. Rankin, who was for more than q
dozep years the honored and respected pas
tor Of the Congregational Church, In this
city, and poet OF no mean ability.
1t was published In a small octave Sab
bath school singing book, called "Gospel
Bells,n by Prof. J.W. Bischoff, the cele-
bfntod slghtless organlst; Otis +. Presbery,
and Rev. j. B. Rankin, ID. D., in 1850.
Since that time 1t has been reprinted In
many books OF similar character and scope,
and has been repeatedly issued In leaflets
and sheet form, both with and without the
music.
In addition to It's appropriateness for
use In social religious gatherings, 1t Is es-
pecially adapted to the use OF social and
secret organizations, those whose tenets are
drawn from the holy Bible being the first to
recognize its beauties.
The attention OF the order known as the
United Order of the Golden Cross was
called to 1t by the members OF Good VIII
Commandery, No. 81, OF this city, OF which
DR.. Rankin was, and Is still, an honorei
member.
1t has since been adopted by many com
manderies as a closing hymn, and when the
last session OF the Supreme Commandery
was held in this city, May, 1885, 1t was not
only sung to and by them, but copies OF 1t
were carried by members to all parts of the
United states. More recently the indie
pendent Order of Good rcmplars In this
city have used II, and 1t is now heard in
many Of their lodge rooms.
The music was written by W. G.. Tomer,
esq, former resident OF this city, and at
the time Of Its composition was the leader
OF the choir In llamline Methodist Church,
AS first published In the "Gospel Bells
the closing stanza In the chorus was written,
"God be with you till we meet again;n but
In the recent leailet form which has been
most widely circulated II is slightly changed
so as to read, "God be with us till We meet
again" The whole poem Is as follows:
God be with you till we meet again,
by Ills counsels, guide, uphold you
With His sheep securely fold YOU.
God be with YOU till we meet again.
TIL we meet It'll we meet again,
TIL We meet at Jesus feet.
TIL we moct-tlll we meet again,
God be with MS TIL we meet glin.
God be with You TIL we meet again,
Meath Ills wings securely hide you,
Daily mama still divide you,
God be with you till we meet again.
Chorus.
God bo with you TIL wo meet again.
When lies perils thick contound you,
Put His arms uifailing round you.
God he with you I'LL we meet again.
Chorus
God be with You till we meet again,
Keep love banner floating o. er You
Smite deaths threatening wave before you,
God be with you til we meet again.
Chorus.

when all the panes are hung with frost,
Wild wiZard-work of silver lace,
draw my sofa on the rug
Before the ancient chlmney.placc.
Upon the painted tiles are mosques
And minarets, and here and there
A blind muezzin lifts his hands
Aud calls the faithful into prayer.
Folded In Idle, twilight dreams,
hear the hcmlock chirp and sing
As II within Its ruddy core
= II held the happy heart OF spring.
Ferdousi never sang like that,
Nor saadi grave, nor Hafla gay;
lounge and blow white rings OF smoke
And watch them rise and lloat away.
The curling wreaths like turbans seem
of silent slaves that come aud 60
Or vizlers, packed with craft and crime,
whom behead from time to time,
With pipe'stem at a single blow.
And now and then lingering cloud
Takes gracious form at my desire,
And at my side my lady stands,
Unwinds her veil with snowy hands
A snadowy shape. breath OF fire J

Beside me In this mellow light,
Though all the bitter winds should blow
And all the ways be choked with snow,

queen said that crops In the Sandwich
Islands were looking well and that garden
truck was far in advance Of what she saw
here.
She said that they had pie plant In her
garden big enough to eat before she came
away, and new potatoes were as big as
walnuts. Still she Is enjoying herself

features about New York which will ever
decorate the tablets OF her memory.

ment, and told her should always regard
her In the same manner.
then wrote a little impromptu stanza In
her autograph album, wrung her malesty's
hand and retired with another suppliaut
and crouching bow which indicated con-
trite spirit, but was calculated to deceive.
] took the liberty Of extending to her
majesty the freedom OF the city and asked
her to visit our press rooms and see us
squat our burning thoughts into a quarter

two cents.
also asked her to come up at any time
and read our Hawaii exchanges, for know
how lonely anybody can be in great city

thrown over the throne, her pay Is still
